Chapter 25: What are you thinking?

If there is one more person in the plan to go to sea, one more food will have to be prepared.

It takes at least a day or two to prepare the food, so Tian Xiaxia and I couldn't set off immediately, but made dry food first.

I made a piece of baking utensils out of bamboo, handed it to Tian Xiaxia, and asked her to use it to dry some conch seashells. Conch seashells, first cooked, then drained and baked, wrapped in salt, so that it can be kept for more than ten days and a half without rotting.

Li Ling, Su Wu and other women, I didn't let them be idle, and asked them to do me a favor.

I said, "Sister Li, Sister Su, you can get me some salt crystals, you can't make dry meat without salt crystals." ”

Li Ling said: "How do you get it?"

I said, "Use the heating salt precipitation method, and I will teach you how to do it." ”

This method, which I have used in XJ before, is extremely inefficient, but it is a good way to replenish salt when there is no salt mine in the field.

It is mentioned that in the wild to survive, the human body must often replenish salt, once it is missing, there will be symptoms such as fatigue and dizziness, and in severe cases, it is even life-threatening.

Looking back, in fact, this salt separation method is also very simple, that is, through heating and evaporating seawater, and then what remains is salt crystals. This is similar to the principle of sea salt production today. Sea salt is the introduction of seawater into the salt pan, and then the sunlight dries the seawater to obtain salt crystals.

Of course, I can't learn this method, it's too slow, and when the salt comes out, I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, so I decided to use fire and boil it directly to evaporate, which will be much faster.

I made a few shelves, asked Li Ling and others to use canned boxes to fill SH water, put it on the shelves to boil, and when the seawater was almost dry, then take away the open flame, and use charcoal to bake, and what came out of the roasting was the salt crystals, and finally collected the salt crystals into a clean bamboo tube.

The women were troublesome when they heard me, and said, "Why is it so hot and roasted, can't it be burned directly into salt crystals with fire?"

I shook my head and said, "No, no, no, when the water is almost dry, you canned food canned food without water, it is not burnable, and it will burn out in two clicks." These canned food boxes are very useful to us, and we should cherish them. ”

Arrange all the things that need to be prepared for the women. As for myself, I'm going to go into the mountains to see if I can hunt some mountain goods. After all, you can't completely rely on conch seashells to make dry food, firstly, the amount of meat is not enough, and secondly, I am a little tired of eating these days, and I want to change the taste. Sanlai, I also want to prepare more food for the women, after all, I lie down and leave, I don't know when I will return, I have to rely on these women, or rely on Zhao Chong and Ma Wang, the two men to go into the mountains to hunt for food, which is a bit unreliable.

Hunting in the mountains, I didn't ask Zhao Chong and Ma Wang to help, because this is mainly to solve my personal affairs, so I don't bother to invite these two Buddhas, through these two days of communication, I can see that these two people are not very easy to move, procrastinating, not as diligent as women.

In the end, it was Kexin who followed me into the mountain.

This girl said that she wouldn't let her follow, she wanted to follow. looks full of interest, really full of childish heart. But it's hard for her, a child who grew up in the city, the mountains have never seen a few times, let alone such an interesting thing as going hunting.

This girl, bouncing all the way, felt strange when she saw everything, and asked this and that endlessly.

"What's it called? Grow so tall!"

"Trees. ”

"I'm asking you what it's called!"

"God knows!"

"What's this flower called?

"White flowers. ”

"What is it called?"

"God knows!"

But listening to my perfunctory answer, he snorted very dissatisfiedly: "What about the wilderness survival expert, what do you not understand, it's really a waste of fame!"

I said, "Survival experts in the wild, and I'm not a botanist, what do I care about so much? I just need to know that the tall ones are trees, the short ones are grass, the animals that can run are animals, and the plants that can't run, and I don't care what their names are, can I control them? There are tens of millions of species on the earth, and I can't remember so many more heads." ”

In fact, there are a lot of people I still know, but I just don't answer, I'm angry with this little girl.

But the heart ignored me and continued to scurry around like a wild deer.

I stopped her and said, "Can you stop for a while? You have to run out of energy now, and do you want to go back later?" Declare in advance that if you can't walk, I'll throw you into the mountains, and let you be with the wolves and beasts tonight." ”

Kexin's little face was flat: "You dare!" suddenly walked around behind me, jumped on my back, and said, "If I can't walk, don't you carry me." ”

A petite and soft body, wrapped around my waist like this, soft, and quite comfortable. I also straightened up my face and said, "You see if I dare! And let me carry you, you can dream." ”

Kexin grabbed my ears with both hands and said, "Don't pretend to be fierce. What kind of person are you, I don't know, obvious knife mouth tofu heart. Just like the day I was dragged away by the octopus monster, you didn't come to my rescue regardless of the danger. ”

This damn girl, what are you doing when you don't mention that day, right?

When I remembered that I had seen this girl's body in the sea that day, I almost had some beautiful things, it was really ......

In the past two days, this little girl has been pestering me to play with nothing, as if she loves to be close to me, in Su Wu's words, she is always flattering, is she really plotting against me?!

Thinking of this, I really can't be fierce with her.

I pulled her off her back and said, "Okay, be nice, stop arguing." You're so noisy and you've driven away all your prey, how can I fight?"

"Oh!" Kexin looked like she understood, and this time she stopped running ahead, following behind me, deliberately looking light-hearted, but the appearance was not natural at all, so that I couldn't help but laugh when I looked at it.

The two of us climbed through the grass and mountains, and soon we were deep in the forest.

At this time, Kexin had already sensed that something was wrong with me, and saw that I was always looking around, and began to follow her previous appearance, walking left and right, not like serious walking, as if looking for something, so he whispered in a suppressed voice: "What's wrong, Brother Lele, what are you looking for?"

I said, "I'm looking for a track!"

But Xin slammed in his heart, and hugged me: "What, there are ghosts here...... Ghosts?"

I gave her a blank look: "I'm looking for animal trails!"

Kexin understood now, and rubbed his little heart: "Oh, I thought you said that there are ghosts here, and you are nervous, but it scared me to death." ”

I said, "You little girl, what are you thinking about?" We're materialists, what the hell do you believe!"
